Not necessarily. If you're playing chess with a brilliant chess AI you
won't be able to predict what its next move will be, if you could you'd be
as good at chess at it is and you're not,  but after it made its move you
can easily see that it wasn't random and was in fact pretty damn smart. You
can't predict what Stephen King's next novel will be but when it come out
and you read it you can be pretty sure it was not made by a monkey banging
on a keyboard.
